The final Bandai One Piece Figuarts Zero figure of the year has now made its visual debut, and in a year dominated by Law merch, what better character for Bandai to end the year with than Trafalgar Law?

As much as we might complain about the same character being redone over and over and over again, Trafalgar Law is such a critical character in the One Piece anime and manga Dressrosa arc that there’s just no feasible way that Bandai could skip over Law–especially with the new Figuarts Zero Doflamingo Donquixote figure coming out this winter as well!

I wasn’t exactly ecstatic when yet another Law action figure was announced, but I’m actually quite pleased now that I can see what Bandai has prepared for us!

While it may not have quite as much detail as the MegaHouse P.O.P Dress Rosa Law figure, the Bandai Dress Rosa Law has a more dynamic pose of Law drawing his sword, an alternate Law head without his hat and a price tag that’s half of the Portrait of Pirates Dressrosa Law figure’s!

I don’t know what MegaHouse has against giving us Law heads without his hat, but Bandai Japan has come through with a great-looking Law with hair head again. While the Trafalgar Law head wearing his trademark hat looks confident, I love the totally different cocky expression on the extra Trafalgar Law head!

Bandai has also gotten Law’s logo and coat designs dead-on accurately, making this Figuarts Zero Dress Rosa Law’s back far more interesting look than that of any FAZ Law figure before it. Even if I don’t want to go around in public with a Jolly Roger on my back, this design still makes me feel sort of tempted to paint a bright orange stripe down the back of my coats!

At 4,104 yen (about $41 US), this Bandai Trafalgar Law statue is slightly more expensive than I’d like. But as a Figuarts Zero One Piece fan, there’s no way I can skip such a great-looking and essential character for my Dressrosa shelf.
